Italian jets scramble over drone in Lithuanian airspace
Original: lituania
Italian fighter jets were scrambled from their Baltic deployment after a drone entered Lithuanian airspace, only to determine it was Ukrainian rather than Russian. The incident came amid a broader wave of drone activity in the region, including reported strikes and a blackout in St Petersburg. The event is drawing attention to NATO's air defense readiness on its eastern flank.
Why now: A misidentified drone triggering a NATO jet scramble highlights tensions over Russian and Ukrainian drone activity near Alliance borders.
